Note
A clipped form for dates, calendars and tables, where the full month name would crowd the line. It usually carries a trailing period, which stays in place inside a phrase: Oct. 31, mid-Oct. The full word October also names a historical ale brewed in that month and, in the early Soviet Union, a verb for giving a child a revolutionary name. In dates, though, the short form stands for the tenth month.
